Dakota Digital MHX-78C-VET-K-W Instrumentation System

When it comes to enhancing your 1978-1982 Chevrolet Corvette, the Dakota Digital MHX-78C-VET-K-W is a game changer. Forget about the Bloomington Gold certification; this Corvette is all about performance and driver engagement! Whether you've swapped out the lackluster L82 for a powerful big block or a turbocharged LS engine, this instrumentation system is designed to provide you with all the vital information you need on the go.

Key Features

  • Gauge Options: Choose between a third LCD message center (VET) or an analog clock (VTA) to fill the fifth gauge opening in your center cluster. With a full-size speedometer and tachometer right in front of you, staying informed has never been easier.
  • Premium Build: The speedometer and tachometer gauge housing is crafted from billet aluminum and finished with a sleek flat black powder coat, maintaining that classic Corvette aesthetic.
  • Direct Fit: Designed to attach directly to the back of your stock center console bezel (bezel not included). This means a straightforward installation without the need for extensive modifications.

Advanced Technology

The MHX Series stands out with fully lit needles, backlit faces, and high-visibility LCD message centers. Under the hood, you'll find micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that ensure unparalleled accuracy. Plus, with user-customizable display feedback, you can tailor your gauges to fit your driving style.

Specifications

  • Water Temperature: 1/8" NPT, ground-isolated sensor with a 10 ft harness.
  • Oil Pressure: 1/8" NPT solid-state sensor with a 10 ft harness.
  • Cable Driven Speed Sensor/Generator: Replaces Ford and/or GM style speedometer cables with a 10 ft harness. Requires approximately 5" clearance between the cable drive output and any obstruction. (Part # 130011, sold separately, allows for pulse generator relocation if needed.)
  • Bushings: Each kit includes 1/8" to 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" NPT bushings, as well as bushings for 12mm and 16mm x 1.5 threads.
  • Control Box Dimensions: 5.5" x 3.5" x 1".

Calibration Made Easy

Programming your Dakota Digital gauges is a breeze with the included pushbuttons. Simply mount them in an accessible location, and you can easily calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count, and adjust the fuel level gauge. Once set up, these buttons also give you access to a wealth of information through the Digital Message Centers.

Why Choose Dakota Digital?

Engineered and manufactured in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the MHX Series has revolutionized the way we think about instrumentation. With a limited lifetime warranty backing it up, you can trust that you're investing in quality that lasts.
